Banded 11/9/2012

Weight at Surgery: 172

Current Weight:165

Goal Weight: 125

Goals: Lose 5lbs/month

Exercise: C25k

Age: 26

Location: Michigan for now, LA in the near future

I'm not so much looking for a mentor as someone at the same point in the journey with a relatively similar amount of weight to lose (40-50lbs). I'm 6 weeks post-op.

I've found that daily weighing keeps me on track like nothing else, so I'm looking for someone to-without excuses--email each other our weights every morning and also talk about our ongoing progress and struggles.

You were so small at time of getting the lapband I didnt know you could be banned at 172.

I'm only 5'1"....and yes, I paid out of pocket.

I'm 5'2 and started at 292 I'm just now 168 that's why I was shocked how small you were to start. Where were you banned?

I don't think I am small; I am medically obese. I was banned in Mexico by Ortiz.
